I can trackstand while I wait for red light, and glide away when the lights turns green. I want to learn to trackstand no-hands to be cooler.<br /><br />Sheldon Brown wrote about a cool dismount technique , but I haven&#39;t tried yet.<br />http://sheldonbrown.com/fixed.html<br /><br />I like the K.I.S.S. philosopy; Keep It Simple, Stupid. <br />I feel that humans have forgotten the Bicycle Way: the<br />bicycle should be as simple as possible, either with or without gears.

Myself is thinking about a jet of cloud (something along the lines of a released color stream I&#39;ve seen used by stunt pilots/gliders) that would be released while road riding. Starting from the need to create a shield for the cyclist to wake-up any dumb a@@ driver, I concluded that a controlled contrail should do the trick. On the other hand, everyone writing about infrastructure is on the mark. And the shot above of the &#39;green&#39; zone is highly relevant. Years back I tried to stimulate the Florida DOT to think of bicycle lanes/signposts as being color co-ordinated so that the entire population will understand the zone is occupied by a flesh-and-bones critter, extremely susceptible to trauma, dismemberment and finality. However until we can get masses onto bicycles, the better social minds will continue to ignore cycling&#39;s evident solution to personal movement. It seems to me.StudySynichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10813706468288222139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13887692.post-72874145160418079082013-02-28T00:09:54.622-05:002013-02-28T00:09:54.622-05:00We shouldn&#39;t think that bicycle design has rea...We shouldn&#39;t think that bicycle design has reached a design ceiling. I just went through the types of bicycles in the Wikipedia website and looked at bicycles by design and materials and it showed me that there are plenty of creative bicycle designers. <br /><br />What are you really looking for in a design. Is it internal drive system? Two wheel drive bicycle? Upright Front wheel drive with all internal drive system? <br /><br /> What do you really think would have a significant change in the bicycle world today? If it had what?<br /><br />I believe that anything that we can think of and put it into action is possible as long as we remember to Keep it Simple Stupid...(kiss) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13887692.post-13158851093477035022013-02-27T19:48:00.965-05:002013-02-27T19:48:00.965-05:00I fully agree with Adam.

I bought a really nice commuter bike last year as a replacement for my older Schwinn but I have to think twice about riding it in the D.C metro area. What good are bicycle improvements when you don&#39;t have a proper environment to pedal in?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13887692.post-26288136290225279382013-02-27T18:26:31.199-05:002013-02-27T18:26:31.199-05:00I would say the bike is at a kind of local design ...I would say the bike is at a kind of local design plateau. It will continue to refine but major breakthroughs are, for the moment, unlikely. Bicycle infrastructure on the other hand is a field that is practically virgin and huge gains are possible there. <br /><br />For instance in the example you give you look for very complex additions to the bike, however this issue could probably be better addressed through infrastructure. For instance, bike timed lights elevated distance bikeways or even something simpler like the bike rests at intersections in CPN http://www.copenhagenize.com/2010/01/holding-on-to-cyclists-in-copenhagen.html<br /><br />The increased efficiency for the city in terms of traffic, public transport, pollution, health and safety would quickly make the small initial investment worthwhile. <br /><br />Of course we&#39;re still struggling to get American cities to set up decent bike lanes...Adam Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06146675106132022357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13887692.post-13155959288556131272013-02-27T13:01:37.041-05:002013-02-27T13:01:37.041-05:00Thanks Ron.
